thinking of getting a 1.7 puma in the next couple of months, want a decent start to tweek in the style of a FRP. Whats high milage for a puma and what should i look out for??

 

mileage isnt really a factor, it seems to be down to how theyre maintained. my 2 lady owner, fsh 2002 puma is on 77k and need a new engine because of crank walk. the puma my mates just bought is on 120+ and has no history, but the engine is sweet as a nut.

and it doesnt matter how many miles theyve gone, the arches will still be rusty

 

I have a puma engine in a Zetec s which has do 170k and still pulls good

 

I bought a puma Ł300 no service history 125k goes like a train would trust it to go anywhere.

Not a spot of rust on the arches. I removed rear liners and covered them in waste oil, job done!

All id say is service it straight away and it should be fine!

 

There one on 207,515 miles and another at 242,000 miles on my forum, still going strong as well maintained.

 

Wow Dal that's some milage.
